- DC Diane Fry?
- Welcome to Edendale.

You've met DC Ben Cooper.

Sickeningly overqualified,
and yet she willingly swaps

the bright lights of Leeds
for Edendale.

Yeah, but why?

Joe Cooper was found beside his car,
beaten to death.

It's been five years, and we're
still no closer to solving it.

And I feel
like I'm letting him down.

All you need to know
is I was seeing a guy in Leeds.

It got messy.
I moved here. The end.

Sorry, Dad. I'm gonna have to stop.

It's times like these
they expect us to buckle,

to fall, to give in.

But that ain't the way
of the Border Rats.

Ain't the way of Withens neither.

Never will be.

They think they can bully us.

They think they can push us around.

They think we won't stand up
for ourselves.

There couldn't be more wrong.

CAR ENGINE STARTS

We're in a fight.

A war.

Not only to save a village,

but to honour the past
and protect our future.

And I'm here to tell you

that if and when Firth Water
come for us...

..or anyone else for that matter,

then we'll unleash the Rats,

and they'll chew the flesh
from anyone...

..anyone that dares challenge us.

Hal wes thu,
Folde, fira modor!

Hal wes thu, Folde, fira modor!

And if we go down...

we go down fighting.

.. fira modor!

Hal wes thu, Folde, fira modor!

Just give us a call back.

CHANTING CONTINUES

CHANTING INTENSIFIES

Ben.

Ben. Ben!

- What?
- The water's cold in the shower.

And?

- Well, I need it hot.
- Have you let it run a bit?

Yeah.

Come on.
Quickly, cos I need to go to work.

All right. OK.
It's the... It's the boiler.

The pressure's gone. It does it
all the time. I'll sort it.

- How long's it gonna take?
- Give me a minute.

I made breakfast. Help yourself.

I'm actually a coffee-and-go girl.

Oh. Should've asked.
Oh, hang on a sec. Before I forget.

Keys to the kingdom.
Don't lose them.

PHONE RINGS

It's Hitchens. Duty calls.

OK. What do we have here?

- Who's that behind us?
- Someone's in a rush.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Here you are, mate.

- Whoa! You're going too fast.
- Oi!

Slow down, mate.

Hey, stop!

- Stop, stop!
- Stop! Whoa!

What are you playing at?
You nearly drove into a crime scene.

I did? I didn't realise.

What, you didn't see the police
or the tape?

- What's your name?
- I'll just turn around.

No, no, name, please.

It's Hebden, Michael Hebden.

What are you doing up here,
Mr Hebden?

I'm on my way home from work.
I thought I'd take a shortcut.

Where do you work, Michael?

- What does that matter?
- Just answer the question.

U-Up at Firth Water,

the water company at Hope Valley.

What's going on up here?

I'll tell you what's going on.

You're gonna turn around,

and you're gonna use the road
like a normal person.

Go on. Go on.

Is he kidding?

Listen, you're out
in the sticks now, Diane.

Roads are just a suggestion.

She always gets here before us.
How does she even do it?

I don't know.

Dr Taylor.

Hello.

A dog walker found him
about an hour ago.

Any ID?

Cheers.

Neil Goodwin, 23 years old, Withens.

Time of death?

As usual, the best I can offer
is a rough estimate.

Judging from the pallor and rigour,

I'm pretty sure
he's been here all night.

- Any murder weapon?
- TBC.

But whatever it was, it was
hard enough to shatter his skull.

Michael Hebden. You keep
Firth Water out of Withens.

This is Neil's house.

He's obviously
a very passionate man.

- Clearly not a fan of Firth Water.
- The door's open.

Hello?

- Hello?
- Whoa, whoa.

- Round the back. Round the back.
- Eh?

Stop! Police!

Stop!

Police!

Right, do you wanna tell me

why a vicar is running
from the police, pal?

- What are you playing at?
- I'm sorry.

I'm Derek Alton.
I'm the reverend at St Asaph's.

What are you doing
in Neil Goodwin's house?

I thought I saw someone in here.

I'm sorry I ran. You startled me.

You didn't think it was Neil?

Well, his car's not outside,
so I got a bit worried.

Sorry, but, er,
has something happened?

I'm afraid Neil was found dead
this morning.

What?

I-I only saw him yesterday.

How? I mean, that can't be right.

Well, unfortunately, it's true.

Did you know Neil well, Mr Alton?

Erm, no. Not especially.

But you saw him yesterday.

What time was that?

Erm, maybe around 4pm.

I had an online meeting
with my previous parish, and, er...

well, Neil, he popped in to say
he had to nip off to see someone.

- Popped in from where?
- The church grounds.

He had recently started working
as the caretaker.

He came highly recommended.

Always happy to help, apparently.

He didn't mention
who he was going to see, did he?

Er, no. Not to me, he didn't. Sorry.

Erm...

May I go now, please?
This is quite a lot to process.

Thank you for your help.

If we have any more questions,
we'll be in touch.

Derek.

Lucas, what are you doing here?

I was looking for Neil. Is he about?

This is Lucas Oxley,
a neighbour of Neil's.

You're not gonna believe this,
but, erm...

Neil has...

I'm afraid Neil's body
was discovered this morning.

Really?

I was only talking to him yesterday.

- When were this?
- Early evening.

Could you be a bit more specific?

Do I know you?

Not to my knowledge, no.

It was around six.

I was outside the pub
having a smoke.

- What pub?
- Only one pub around here.

The Fatted Calf.

Neil and I had a chat.
I went back inside.

Did he say
where he was going to next?

I didn't ask.

You should do a remembrance for him,
seeing as much as we all liked him.

What was wrong with him? Did you see
how he were looking at you?

Oh, I don't know
what that was all about.

- Should we have a look around?
- Yeah. Let's.

- Is that what I think is?
- A well?

Got it in one. Let's have a look.

Bit random.

Why would someone have a well
in their garden?

Well, you never know until you look.

- Can't see anything.
- No. There's nothing.

Worth a try.

Let's take a proper look
inside Neil's house.

Quality stuff, this.

Know about antiques?

Eh? Every Sunday night,
I had a bath, a jam butty,

and the Antiques Roadshow
without fail.

Thought all kids grew up with that.

- Take a look at this.
- Thank you.

What are these?

Whoa! Look at these.

Looks like Neil
was being blackmailed.

"Repent or die."
"Judgement is coming."

"The rats will eat you alive."

"Death is watching you."

The hell is that?

Neil Goodwin, 23 years of age,

died from blunt force trauma
to the head.

He was last seen alive outside
the Fatted Calf pub in Withens

yesterday about 6pm.

Two hours later,
he was found dead in a local quarry.

And what we need to do
is account for those two hours.

Tracy, can you see where that
lettering might have come from?

Yeah, yeah. Will do, Sir.

Ben, Diane, you spoke
with Derek Alton, the vicar?

Yeah. He was a bit skittish,
wasn't he?

My bad.

Er, we also saw someone dressed up
like a rat-like creature

with a weird mask on.

- Yeah. A rat.
- Rat?

- A rat?
- Yeah. Yeah.

And whoever it was,
whatever it was,

was stood directly
outside Neil's house,

and then just disappeared
into thin air.

Listen, can we put that on hold
for a moment?

Is no-one gonna ask me
why I'm a few minutes late?

Why are you a few minutes late?

Yeah. Thanks. Er, I've been digging
up some old case files, and...

Seriously?
Everybody forgotten Emma Runshaw?

Anyone gonna fill me in?

It's your case, Todd.

All right.

Emma Runshaw. Only daughter
of Howard and Sarah Runshaw.

Five years ago, she was going
to see her boyfriend in Birmingham.

Never arrived. Disappeared en route.

Now have a little guess
who her boyfriend was.

Neil Goodwin?

Bingo.

Anyway, last sighting of Emma
was in a tiny hamlet

in between Edendale and Birmingham.

No witnesses, no CCTV,
her phone were dead,

and her parents are convinced
it's all down to Neil Goodwin.

You two are definitely
going back to Withens.

You're going to pay
the Runshaws a visit.

Oh, mate. Mate, don't forget tonight
we're paying due reverence, yeah?

Yes.

What's that about?

Well, on this very day back in 1972,

Derby County won
what was the old First Division.

It's a big deal.

BELL RINGS,
PHONE CHIMES

- Upgrade offer.
- Oh.

- Mrs Runshaw.
- Yes.

DC Ben Cooper. This is DC Fry.

Can we come in
and have a chat, please?

Yes. Come in.

- Thank you.
- I knew you'd be round.

I said to Howard.

I said our's will be
the first door they knock on.

I mean,
when we found out Neil was murdered.

Mrs Runshaw, can we ask
where you was yesterday evening?

Sat in watching the box with Howard.

Is your husband around?

Upstairs.

Can you shout him down?

Howard!

Police are here.

They think we've done away
with Neil Goodwin.

Sorry. Just getting things ready
for Emma Day.

We like to commemorate her
each year since she's gone missing.

We're putting her photos and artwork
on display in the local church

so the village can remember her.

Be like she's never been away.

We were just establishing

your whereabouts last night,
Mr Runshaw.

- I told him we were watching telly.
- Which we were.

Right.

Can you tell us when either of you
last saw Neil Goodwin?

- Can't remember. Sarah?
- Don't ask me.

We avoided him like the plague.

You still blame him

for the disappearance of Emma
five years later?

It was him, all right.
Make no mistake.

Well, according to our records,

he had a solid alibi
the day Emma disappeared.

That was a pack of lies.
He took her from us.

No doubt there's a reason
you're saying that, Mrs Runshaw.

He was controlling Emma.

By the time we realised,
it was too late.

We challenged him,
but she just vanished.

He's had her holed up somewhere
all to himself, I know it.

But Neil came back to Withens
to live.

And I begged and begged him
to tell us where she was.

She just said that you both
avoided him like the plague.

So which one is it?

Got a smart one here, Sarah.
Better watch our step.

All Neil ever said to us

was that we should forget about Emma
and move on.

If you knew what I went through
bringing her into this world...

I almost died giving birth.

But I fought with all I had
because I was going to be her mum.

And he thought
we should just move on.

Listen, let's park Emma for now.
She's not the reason we came here.

Well, you're the ones
bringing her up.

It's like you lot
have forgotten all about her.

No-one calls us.
There are no updates. Nothing.

OK, like my colleague said...

Five years, and we're no closer
to getting her back.

We're dying with
this ruddy great hole in our lives.

If there's time,
I'll try and follow it up.

I'm not making any promises,

but can we get back
to talking about Neil, please?

Did you hear that, love?
She's gonna find Emma.

No, I never said that.

Take these.

Get to know our beautiful daughter.

Then you'll see why Neil
wanted her all to himself.

Right. Neil Goodwin's life
in a nutshell.

We've got bank statements,
letters, bills.

I mean, you name it.

- Thank you.
- All right.

SOCO will have been through that.

Yeah, but I haven't.

What are they?
Emma Runshaw's diaries?

Erm, yeah.

- Howard Runshaw gave me them.
- Yeah, I know. Waste of time.

Nothing but the cliched agonies
of every teenager you've ever met.

I've done a bit
of a deep dive on Neil.

So, it appears like
he never had, like, a full-time job,

but did lots of cash-in-hand work.

Nearest and dearest?

Yeah. Both parents killed
in a car crash.

Erm, he inherited the house.
And his brother...

he emigrated to New Zealand.

Any previous?

Yeah. It was a public order
in Birmingham.

Outside a nightclub. Eastside.

But, I mean, other than that,
he appears like an angel.

Where did he stay in Brum?

- Tupton Lane.
- Yeah, I went there.

I was seeing if Emma
was beneath the floorboards.

Anything to get
the stupid parents off my back.

- Any sign of his phone?
- Erm, no.

No, service provider
reckons it's switched off,

but they're gonna
send over, like, call data

and last cell site
when they have it.

- What about his car?
- Er, no. No sign of that either.

Well, guys, we are going
to broaden the search tomorrow.

Odds are we find the car,
we find the phone. Ben.

Derby time. Let's go.

Duty calls.

- See you tomorrow.
- See ya.

Oh. Thought you were told
to ignore them.

Yeah, but looks
like I'm home alone tonight,

- so what else am I gonna do?
- Right. Night, night.

# Everyone's frightened
Of that Derby pride

# Steve Bloomer's watchin' us

# Helping the fight! #

What is that? What is that?
You've got to commit to the song.

- Shut up a second, mate.
- Go on.

Tell me this, right?

What's it like
with the new flatmate?

Ugh. Here we go. Er, no.

Yeah, it's, er...

Yeah, it's fine. No problems.

No. No.

I want to know what she's like
outside of office hours,

outside of those suits
that she wears, I wanna know.

I can't tell you what she's like
cos she's only just arrived there,

so I can't give you any specifics.

Say it, right, like you
wanna bring a girl back home,

or you wanna
watch the football or...

No, no, no, right? Say it...

Say you want to walk around
in your pants, right?

Right, the one thing
that I've always said

that I will never give up
is my freedom.

My right to be me.
God-given right, yeah?

And I follow that to the letter.
To... To the letter, Ben.

Otherwise, look, you'll never live.

It's not that deep.
It's not that deep.

Anyway, I've got a housemate,
not an incurable disease.

You know what I mean?

Well, I bloody hope not
because I've been sipping

from your pint
when you've been looking away.

- Well, I've been spitting
in yours, pal.
- Mm.

SIGH

DOOR CLOSES

Mum, are you here?!

Mum, I've brought you dinner!

Mother!

No need to shout, love.

I could smell you upstairs.

- Hello.
- Hello, love.

And it's way too late for dinner.

So...

- ..what are you really doing here?
- Oh, straight to the point.

You should have been a copper, Mum.

No, actually, there is something
I want to ask you.

Cos if anyone would know,
it would be you.

HE EXHALES SHARPLY

So, what do you know
about rat-like figures in Withens?

Oh.

I think you're talking about
Satan's version of Morris dancers.

Call themselves the Border Rats.

Yeah, that's...

Why do they dress like that?

Well, it were to do with the workers
who died at the quarry at Withens.

It collapsed in the 1880s.

Hundreds of them died,
and they were all found

with their fingers and toes
and faces chewed

and even bitten clean off by rats.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

- They ate the workers?
- More than ate them.

They absorbed them.

That company didn't care
how many men died,

just as long as their quarry
could work overtime.

So the story is
that the Border Rats were formed

to protect Withens from then on.

"Beware the rats,
they will eat you alive."

What was that?

Oh, nothing.
It's just a message I read.

Oh, Ben, be careful.

When the Border Rats feast,
they eat both body and soul.

So, the phone was found
in the brambles

on the path up to Mam Tor.

Now, we're still waiting
for forensics on the blood,

but fingerprints have confirmed

that it is in fact
Neil Goodwin's phone.

Now, it looks like
Neil's killer grabbed the phone

and dumped it miles away.

So CCTV, traffic cams, usual,
whatever they throw up.

- Yes, Tracy?
- Yeah.

I've looked into the lettering
found on the threat sent to Neil,

and it looks like it's been cut
out of a Bible.

We don't know which version yet,
but Forensics are on it.

OK. Ben?

Ben?!

Anything on the vicar?

Er, still digging into it, sir.

Keep looking. Maybe next year,
stick to the shandy.

LAUGHTER

Here you go.
Made it extra strong for you.

Oh. Cheers.

Right, I, er... I spoke with my mum.

That thing we saw yesterday,
apparently it's called a Border Rat.

It's like a Morris dancer
but a bit more vicious.

- What?
- I wanted to say this before.

I promise I, erm...

I wasn't prying or snooping around,
but...

I came across the stuff you have
on your dad's murder case.

I-I were just looking for a pen,
and then I...

It's all right. It's all right.

It led nowhere,
so I boxed it all away.

Don't that stuff belong here,
on file?

I'll just find a second,
I'll put it all back.

No-one's gonna know, are they?

Before you do,
I... I could take a look.

- Fresh eyes...?
- No.

No need. I'm done with it, honest.

Thank you. Mm.

Right.

Derek Alton, let's get
to know you properly, shall we?

There he is in his old parish.

Nice church.

So, why did you transfer to Withens?

Ben, you are thinking out loud.

Hang on.

St Moden's is his old church,
and that's in Birmingham Eastside.

Didn't somebody mention
Birmingham Eastside, right?

Yeah. Tracy said Neil used to live
there when he was in Birmingham.

Yeah. That's it, that's it.

So, maybe him and Alton
knew each other from before?

No, he said he, er...
he barely knew Neil.

No, but we found him in Neil's home.

You don't believe that burglar crap
he came up with, do you?

I'm gonna go pay him a visit.

- See you in a bit.
- Bye.

That'd block the altar.

I thought we could do it
off to one side.

We want her front and centre.

Excuse me.

- You got news on him already?
- What have you found?

I'm actually here
to see Reverend Alton.

Sorry.

Reverend, could I have
a word in private, please?

Yes. Of course.

- This way.
- Thank you.

I just wanted to chat to you
about your...

your last church, St Moden's.
I'm OK sitting here, aren't I?

Er, yes. Of course.

What's that got to do with anything?

Did you know Neil lived in Eastside
while you were over there?

No, not at all.

Never came up
between the two of youse?

- No.
- That's weird.

Never mentioned?

He never asked you
where you transferred from?

Never told you
that he shared a flat in Eastside?

We barely spoke.

I just thought he might
have said something in passing.

It's... strange, I think.

He worked outside,
clearing the graveyard.

I thought you would have
bumped into him a bit.

Maybe had a chat about the past.

I had no reason to go out there.

And I've been too busy here
with the church.

Fair enough.

I saw a picture of your old church.
Very nice.

And all this feels...

..kind of like a demotion.

Well, a house of God
is a house of God wherever you go.

That's a nice Bible.

I couldn't have a look at that,
could I?

Sorry,
but I've had a few stolen recently.

Erm...

What I mean is people forget
they've got them,

and then they take them home.

I'm trying to hang on
to the ones I've got.

Bible thieves, 'ey?
DEREK CHUCKLES

You can give me some names
of potential suspects if you like.

BOTH CHUCKLE

I'd better get back to the Runshaws.

Fair enough. I'll have a look round,
and then I'll be on my way.

Yeah. Thank you.

Why would you need to do that?

You see,
my old man was a copper, too.

And he said to me,
"Make sure you follow every path."

Mm. I'll let myself out.

Thank you.

Sarge.

- What?
- Take a look at this.

Huh. Looks like Neil
was about to have a big payday.

- You come to repent?
- Neil was selling to Firth Water.

It says Neil was selling his house
and moving out of Withens.

How's that work?

He's got a bloody great big
protest sign in his garden.

Firth Water
must have convinced him to sell.

That's where Michael Hebden worked.

- Nice recall.
- Thank you.

- Shall we pay him a visit?
- Yeah. Let's do it.

I'll see you down there.

Yeah. Neil was selling up.

I managed to talk him
into it just over a week ago.

Firth Water were delighted.

So, what about all the signs
in Neil's garden?

Cos he was quite clearly
against Firth Water.

Well, Neil and I decided
to keep the sale between ourselves

in case there were
any recriminations.

What sort of recriminations?

Well, you must have felt
the anger around here.

The village would be up in arms.

They hate my guts as it is.

So, what, they'd go after Neil?

No. Well, he made sure
that they wouldn't.

The minute the money
was in Neil's bank,

he was gonna pack up
and get the hell away.

Mr Hebden, what exactly
were Firth Water's plans?

They're going to buy up Withens
and then flatten it.

There'll be a huge water refinery
here instead,

and hundreds
of jobs will be created.

It's a good thing.

- But wouldn't you lose your home?
- Oh, I couldn't care less.

As soon as they make me an offer,

I'm taking Firth Water's coin
and getting the hell out.

Don't look like the rest
of the village

- is selling up anytime soon.
- Oh, they will.

The minute they hear that
Neil's house has been snapped up,

it'll be like dominoes.

All it takes is one person
to throw in the towel,

and the rest will follow,
guaranteed.

Why did you seek out Neil
in particular?

Well, that's because of the well
in his garden.

It's like a natural gateway
to the underground springs.

Getting that means that Firth

have got Withens by the balls,
so to speak.

It's all just a matter of time now.

Do you think there's a chance
that someone could have found out

about Neil's plans?

Cos he was getting death threats.

Oh, God, I...
I never even considered that.

Can you think of anyone
that would threaten him?

Well, I don't know if I should say.

I mean,
if that's what got Neil killed...

Mr Hebden.

This didn't come from me.

But if anyone was sending threats,
it would be Lucas Oxley.

That's the guy we met
outside Neil's house.

Well, was there any animosity
between Neil and Lucas Oxley?

It's Lucas Oxley.

There's always gonna be animosity.

So, Lucas Oxley.

Yeah. My dad arrested his son.
Rowan, he was called.

That's probably why
he was looking at me like that -

saw some resemblance.

He was into everything.

Robbery, GBH, handling stolen goods.

You name it, they were doing it.

It was actually his wife, Lily,
who gave my dad a tip-off about him.

Apparently, he was always cheating
on her, so she'd had enough of him.

Word was, she fled to Wales,
but my dad never believed it.

He looked into it
but never found anything.

You know what? I have to say...
I think I'm with Hebden.

I would take first offer,
and I would run with it.

Yeah. No, but this...
this is their home.

You know what I mean?

Once these villages go,
they're gone forever, aren't they?

And for what?
A bottle of water in a supermarket.

- Mm.
- If I lived here, I'd fight as well.

And kill?

It's looking like it, innit?

Oxley finds out
that Neil's selling up,

starts with the threats,
it doesn't work,

so he escalates,
takes it to the next level

to set an example for anyone else
thinking of selling up.

PHONE RINGS

Best get this.

Hiya. DC Fry.

Yeah.

Thank you.
No, I appreciate it. Thank you.

Bye.

That was the hospital
cos I asked them to dig out

Emma Runshaw's medical records.

The diaries were pretty much
as Sarge said they were,

until I noticed "brave girl"
stickers on some of the pages.

Like the type you get
when you go to the dentist as a kid?

Yep. Or the hospital.

And now it's worked out
that for every sticker,

it matches up with a hospital visit.

Now, it was a lot of visits.

Emma was in and out of casualty

right up until the time
she disappeared.

Maybe we should pay
the Runshaws another visit.

- Howard's still over at church.
- Oh, that's OK.

We can do this with you,
Mrs Runshaw.

Well, how can I help you now?

We're concerned
with the unusually high number

of hospital visits Emma had
over the years.

That's what you get
for being a tomboy,

doing all the daft things
that boys do.

Even at two years old?

Cos the hospital told me that
was the first time she was admitted.

That's cos she had that illness.

What's it called
when you keep bumping into things?

Dyspraxia.

Howard's right.
You are a bright one.

The first time it happened,
we gave her a dolly,

and it turned out
to be a big mistake.

Why's that?

Well, it became a thing.

SIGHS

She knew she'd get a dolly
every time she went to hospital.

You know what kids are like.

Was Emma leaving home, Mrs Runshaw?

Whatever would make you think that?

Well, in our case notes, it said
that Emma left with a suitcase.

I mean, why would she do that

if she was just visiting Neil
for t'weekend?

Because that snake Neil told her to.

He was controlling her, we told you.

He told her to pack her suitcase,

he told her to get on the bus,

and he told her he'd be waiting
for her,

waiting to take
our precious daughter away.

Neil had an alibi
for when Emma disappeared,

and yet you maintain he took her.

It don't make sense.

It was a made-up alibi.
Why won't you listen?!

That phone that was found
at Mam Tor,

turns out it's not registered
to Neil Goodwin,

so call me when you get this,
all right?

Ooh.

- Do you wanna slow down, man?
- Sorry, mate.

COOPER SIGHS

Right. So, what are we thinking?

Let's say the Runshaws
did do something to Emma, right?

Somehow Neil finds out,
and they know that Neil knows.

So, what? They...
They do something to shut him up?

- It's something we definitely
have to follow up on.
- Yeah.

- Do you want a coffee?
- No, I'm OK. Thank you.

All right.

- Who's that little fella?
- Oh, erm, it's nothing.

Want to talk about it?

It's nothing,
and we've got work to do.

Well, it's obviously not nothing
because you've been jumpy all week.

Is that your ex or something?

We are not doing this,

and we are definitely
not doing this here!

Well, you explain, right? Every time
he texts or calls, you freeze.

So you obviously don't want
to see him.

Yet he's turning up here,
dropping off gifts for you.

- Is he a nutter?
- It's fine.

You need to do the right thing
and report him.

Leave it, Ben. I've got this.
Trust me.

PHONE RINGS

Yes, Dr Taylor?

- KNOCK ON DOOR
- Yes?

Sir. They've identified
the splinters in Neil's head wound.

It's a hardwood,
from a black walnut tree.

Black walnut.

Presumably, he wasn't hit
with the whole tree,

so we just have to find out what
did they make out of black walnut?

CLATTERING

Show yourself, then.

You like it?

LUCAS LAUGHS

You big chicken.

You never said what happened
to your old one.

I honestly don't know, Lucas.

Of course you don't.

But take it from lessons learned
long ago...

..silence is the best friend
you never knew you had.

Right, so it's definitely
not Neil's phone.

No. No.

So, network provider
reckons it's a burner

cos it's not registered anywhere.

But the weird thing is,
when they opened it up,

the only number they found on it
were Neil's.

- So whoever owns this phone
has been calling Neil on it.
- Yeah.

And according to his provider,
he's been calling them back.

But why would a phone
that don't belong to Neil

have his blood
and fingerprints on it?

God knows.

Right, I need some fresh air,
my head's pounding.

Right.

PAINED EXHALE

- Mind if I run something by you?
- You're going to anyway, so...

Look, it's about Emma.

She... She stepped off a bus in a...

Right, Diane.
Diane, my head is banging, yeah?

We just... We need to follow up
on Lucas Oxley,

find out who's been calling Neil,

let alone who hit him over the head
with a lump of... of walnut.

Which is what I am doing.

Look, Emma got off the bus
in a tiny village.

There were no CCTV, no traffic cams,
nothing to record her movement.

But why did she get off the bus

when the bus was taking her
all the way to Birmingham?

That's what Sarge said.

He said whoever abducted her
picked her up

from that point, didn't he?

What if Neil helped her escape?

What if he was waiting there
to take her somewhere safe?

Yeah, well, Neil had an alibi,
didn't he? He had some bloke.

He spent the whole day with him
in Birmingham.

- We need to talk to his alibi.
- HE GROANS

Every path, Ben.
We go down every single one.

See? Now that's weird.

Why are you saying that?
Where have you got that from?

I don't know,
I just heard it somewhere. Why?

Oh, nothing. It's just something
my dad used to say.

Come on, then, let's do it.

HE SIGHS

Right, let's see
who gave Neil an alibi.

Ben, look at this.

- What?
- Look.

- Every damn path.
- Derek Alton.

He told me
he'd never met Neil before.

Hello, Derek.

We just have a few questions
to ask you, if you don't mind?

I'm sorry. You've reminded me.
I better put a sign up or...

That can wait. That can wait.

Why did you tell me
you'd never met Neil

when he was in Birmingham before?

Because I didn't.

Only you did,
because five years ago,

you gave Birmingham Police
a statement saying

that you were with Neil the day
that Emma Runshaw went missing.

Neil asked me to do it.

He said they'd believe
a man of the cloth.

OK. OK. So where was he instead?

He just said he needed an alibi.
I didn't question it.

Right. So, you do know providing
a false alibi is a serious offence?

So, you just happily went along
and did it, though, right?

You must have known Neil pretty well
to do something like that for him.

Come on, Derek, you don't just leave
your old parish

and come to a run-down village
for nothing, do you?

Neil and I...

we were in a relationship
at the time.

I... I thought
he was dating Emma back then.

It was a front.

They were best friends.

She helped him out,
he helped her out.

So, did the Runshaws know
about you and Neil?

They hated Neil.

And I may have well defended him
a bit too fervently.

The Runshaws are adamant
that Neil's alibi was a lie.

I mean, did you end up telling them
what you did for him?

Two weeks ago.
They pried it out of me.

They're nothing
but horrible bullies.

I didn't have a choice.

COOPER SCOFFS

What's that?

OK, if the Runshaws only found out
about Derek's fake alibi recently,

then that would explain
why they killed Neil now

and not five years ago.

DEREK SCREAMS

PANICKED BREATHING

Derek!

Ah. I thought I... I should try
and tidy up a bit.

I pull... I pulled back the tarp
where Neil was clearing up and...

Ben, it's not in a coffin.

POLICE RADIO CHATTER

Male or female?

- That'll have to wait for now.
- That's a nice bracelet.

Can you at least tell us
how long it's been in the ground?

See my previous answer.

- Thanks.
- Thank you.

Is it her? Is it my Emma?

Is it her?! Is it our Emma?!
Is it her?!

Sorry. We actually don't know
anything at this point.

Sorry, guys. Sorry.

- I know it's her!
- It's not Emma, love. It's not Emma.

It can't be.
She's out there somewhere.

She's alive. I can feel it.
You can too. Tell me you can.

I don't understand.

Why would Neil cover up her body

when you could just call
the police like a normal person?

And instead, he tells Derek
he's gonna go see someone.

And ends up dead
in a disused quarry.

I'm meant to be the one
who offers support, but look at me.

When did Neil start clearing
the graveyard?

Two days ago.

It had become overgrown.
Neil was helping tidy it up.

Did anyone voice concerns
about that?

Not to me, they didn't.
He was doing a good thing.

I did think it was weird that he
just up and left before finishing.

- PHONE BUZZES
- Oh, sorry.

I... I need to answer this.

I'll be back in a minute.

Go on, then.

- Go on, say it.
- Say what?

You think that's Emma's body
that Neil dug up, don't you?

And that her parents put her there,
right?

Or at least the dad did.
Judging by the mum's reaction.

No, but he would have had to
have known about their escape plan.

OK, let's just say he did.

And on the day
she went to meet Neil,

well, he went after her,

pulled up and grabbed her
before Neil got there.

I mean, it would be the perfect spot
to go undetected

because Emma and Neil
had already made sure of it.

OK, but if that was the case,
then Neil would have known

they'd taken her when he got there
cos she's not there,

so why not ring the police then,
report her missing?

You know, she's a young girl.

But, no, instead, he moves back
to Withens,

doesn't point the finger of
suspicion at anyone in five years.

Nah, I'm not buying that.

PHONE BUZZES
AND CHIMES

It's Sarge.
They've found Neil's car. Let's go.

It's near where the body were found.

- This is nice.
- Look at this handsome bastard.

Mwah!

He's a Rams fan.

Any sign of Neil's phone, Sarge?

- No, not a sniff.
- No.

Look, you're telling me he bought
all this from doing odd jobs?

Tell you something.
I've seen this before.

He's report it stolen,
I'm sure of it.

Lucas Oxley?
When did he become a player in this?

The last known person
to see Neil Goodwin alive, sir.

Mm. We believe
that he was threatening Neil

over the sale of his house
to Firth Water.

How come?

Well, Firth Water plan
to flatten Withens

and build a water refinery
in its place.

The villagers are furious.

One of the villagers,
Michael Hebden,

who works for the water company,

he helped Neil sell his house
in secret.

But if word gets out...

- Yeah, we all know
what Oxley's capable of.
- Mm.

- Anything else?
- The Runshaws.

We believe they were abusing Emma.

It's just a theory for now,

but the number of hospital visits
she had seems to point to that.

No-one spotted that five years ago?

I just got lucky, sir.

So we think Neil actually helped
Emma escape their clutches,

they found out...

Which gives
both the Runshaws motive.

But have they got alibis?

Conveniently, they've given
each other an alibi, sir.

But how did they find out
about Neil?

- I mean, was this recently?
- Yeah.

Erm, Derek Alton, the vicar,

he told them
that he'd given Neil a false alibi.

Oh, man of God lies to the police.

Well, he had to, sir,
he was in a relationship with Neil.

The things people do for love.

So, if I was a betting man...

..who would you tell me
to put my money on?

- Oxley.
- Runshaws.

SHE CHUCKLES

Great Is that it?

Well, judging by the inside
of Neil's car, Sir,

he's definitely on the rob.

- Well, the Sarge is convinced anyway.
- Which brings in another factor.

We think Neil could have had
a falling out

with whoever he's dealing with.

And then we think it could be
that person's phone

that we found up at Mam Tor.

Who throws away their own phone?

Yeah, we have that question also,

but we just can't seem
to figure it out yet.

But, yeah, that's the picture
as it stands.

- Here he is.
- I'm just gonna put this up there.

Remember my hunch
about this bad boy?

Turns out it was stolen,
from an address in Withens, no less.

It was an heirloom.
Where'd you find it?

We've reason to believe
Neil Goodwin stole it.

Neil wasn't a thief. He was about
the only decent person around here.

Well, we found it in his car.

I can't believe that of him.

He put the security grilles
over the windows,

installed the front door -
damn thing weighs a tonne.

He did all that to protect me.

Protect you? You didn't say
you needed protecting.

Well, I would have thought
it was obvious.

I'm party to the death
of this crappy little village.

So, you were threatened as well?

They come every day.

The threats, do you keep them?
Because we would need to see them.

No, you misunderstand me.

They come in person.

What the hell?!

I told you -
every day, without fail.

The Border Rats.

- Can you see what they're holding?
- Yeah, it's black walnut.

- Oxley makes them.
- I'm gonna have a word with them.

No! They'll go away in a bit.

It's best to wait them out.

Yeah. I can't do that.

No, please. They can't get in.

We're safe in here.
Neil saw to that.

We're the police, we'll be fine.
Leave it to us.

Excuse me. Police.

Do you want to take off your mask?
We need to ask you some questions.

Take off your mask,
and take a step back.

- Get back!
- We're not gonna say it again.

Get back. I said get back!

- GUNSHOT
- Leave me alone! You hear me?!

Keep Firth Water out of Withens,
Hebden!

- Leave me alone!
- Mr Hebden, put the gun down.

- I'm warning you.
- Michael, we're the police, remember?

- We're here to help.
- I said leave me alone.

We're here to find out
what happened to Neil, Mr Hebden.

Put the gun down, Mr Hebden.

There we are.

Right, we need to check if Hebden
has a licence for that shotgun.

Although, I don't think he's
in any fit mental state to own one,

but you never know.

And we need to find out
who's behind the Border Rats,

because any one of them
could have been threatening Neil.

But we can't even unmask them
without a warrant.

There's me thinking Leeds were bad.

Right, come on,
you need to tell me about this,

because whatever happened in Leeds
has followed you here.

- And don't tell me it's nothing.
- It is nothing.

You don't drive the whole way
to Edendale to deliver a teddy bear.

That's mad.

When I broke up with him,
he couldn't accept it,

to the point
where I HAD to move here.

And now the problem is,
he still won't accept it.

Does this guy have a name?

It's David. David Branagh.

Right. And is David married?

I'm taking that as a yes.

Look, I promise, I-I didn't know.
I didn't know.

And as soon as I found out that
he had a wife and kids, I ended it.

If you want my advice,
I'd be picking up the phone,

and I'd be putting him
on stalking charges.

- Ben, it's not that easy.
- Why? Tell me.

Well, can I at least see a photo
of this guy?

There.

Relax. It's the boss.

Hello?

- KNOCK ON DOOR
- Yeah?

- You wanted to see us, Sir?
- Yeah. Take a seat.

We've just had the report
on the body in Withens graveyard.

Is it Emma Runshaw's?

No. Turns out it's Lily Oxley.

Lucas Oxley's daughter-in-law.

She's been lying
in that graveyard for years,

from around about the time
that she supposedly moved to Wales.

So Dad was right,
something did happen to her.

Well, if she turned her husband in,

Lucas Oxley could have found out
and, well, turned on her.

Maybe Neil recognised her initials
from the bracelet.

That could be what he wanted to talk
to Oxley about outside the pub.

Dr Taylor mentions
that Lily was bludgeoned to death

and that there are particles
of black walnut in the wound.

So it has all the similarities
of Neil Goodwin's murder.

Lucas Oxley.

I thought I smelled something
when I met you.

You're Joe Cooper's son.

Couldn't place you at first,
but there's a...

a stink of your dad about you.

Well, just so you know, Lucas,

we've ID'd the person found
at the church.

It was your daughter-in-law Lily.

Can't be. She went travelling -
packed a bag and took off.

No, it's her, Lucas,
make no mistake.

Neil found her
when he was clearing up.

She'd been buried there for years.

I suppose it saves on her funeral,
then.

What with her
having been buried already.

You can pop her back in
when you're done.

We heard there were animosity
between you and Neil.

Neil had some things
he needed selling.

There was no animosity.

Why would I hurt Neil?

I had nothing against him.

Where were you the day
that Neil were murdered?

I was in the pub till closing time.
Rehearsing.

Oh, yeah? Rehearsing what?

You ought to come down next time
and see for yourself.

OK. Can anyone confirm that
you were in the pub that whole time?

Ask the vicar. He'll tell you.

Oh, so Derek Alton's a Border Rat,
too?

Of course he is.

Dancing and chanting
to a higher being...

CHUCKLES

..busman's holiday for him.

But he knows as well as anyone,

you have to rehearse
till you're perfect,

or else the spirits won't come.

What do you mean by that, Lucas?

We're in a fight for our lives,
sweetheart,

and we're summoning help.

And mark my words, they'll come.

And their hunger and rage
will follow...

..across this village,
and the Rats'll come out to feast.

We are Withens through and through.

We know what it means
to be from a place like this.

Those like Firth Water,
they try to pick on the little guy.

Well, they don't understand
what we've been through.

They don't understand the way
of the Border Rats.

Decades have gone by since
our ancestors lost their lives...

all for some useless quarry.

Those men fought till the very end.

And we will do, too.

We honour them each and every day.

But now more than ever.

Firth Water are closing in.

This war we've been ready for

is coming straight
to our front doors.

- And this, this is our time now.
- CHEERS

This is our time for revenge.

For the Border Rats to rise up
and take back what is ours.

Hal wes thu, Folde,
fira modor!

Hal wes thu, Folde, fira modor!

Hal wes thu, Folde, fira modor!

Hal wes thu, Folde, fira modor!

Hal wes thu, Folde...

Firstly, it is wonderful
to see so many here,

especially in light
of recent events.

Anyway, we are here for Emma.

Not just to remember,
but to reclaim her.

As in, bring her back to Withens...

..through her art
and all these wonderful photographs.

Sarah and Howard
know that this village

is where she truly belongs.

Thank you.

- Can I help?
- Lucas Oxley needs an alibi.

And you've been happy
to give 'em in the past, so...

Do you wanna talk about this
somewhere safer?

I wasn't in the pub that night.

I don't know
why Lucas would say that.

So, where were you, then?

At the church.
Was sorting a few things.

Can anyone verify that?

No?

You know, I gotta say,

I find it strange
that you moved down here

five years after Neil
ended the relationship.

That was pure coincidence.

You still had feelings for him,
didn't you?

Even after all these years,

you couldn't get him
out of your head.

No, that's not true.

When did you find out
Neil had sold up?

He told me last week.

How did you take it?

I told him I was happy for him.

Even though you'd moved your entire
life down here just to be with him.

You said you were happy with it?

Well, we'd figured things
out recently,

and we agreed to be friends.

Did you tell anyone
he was moving away?

Why would I do that?

You're a Border Rat. You would
have known what that sale meant.

I only became a Border Rat
to be closer to Neil.

I swear, I... I kept it to myself.

I-I knew people would be angry,
but I'd never put Neil in danger.

No, but that's exactly what you did
when you told the Runshaws

about your fake alibi, isn't it?

Wasn't it?

COOPER
INHALES SHARPLY

COOPER EXHALES

Talk us through your movements
the night Neil died, please.

I went to his house.

He wasn't in,
so I went looking for him,

and I ended up back at the church.

And then what?

When I went into my office...

..I saw that someone
had been in my cupboard.

The door was swinging open.

What did you keep in there?

My Border Rat costume.

And my staff had been stolen.

Lucas, we weren't sure
you'd still be here.

Villagers only. No blow-ins wanted.

That's not very nice, Lucas.

You've got the same smug face
as your dad.

And look what happened to him.

COOPER GRUNTS

Derek wasn't at the pub, Lucas.
You lied to us.

So who do you wanna get now?
Do you wanna...

point out one of your friends

who can come along with us
to the station,

and we'll find they're lying
an' all?

Howard.

Come here a sec.

Yes, Lucas.

Tell this pilgrim where I was
the night Neil got himself killed.

- I'd have to have a think.
- I said tell him.

He was rehearsing all night
in the pub.

And you'd know this... how?

Because, er...

I-I was rehearsing with him.

No-one went home till closing.

Your dad's probably looking down
on you right now, thinking,

"Look at that.

"My idiot son
has inherited my idiot genes."

Leave it, Ben.

Yeah. Leave it, Ben.

Arrogant bastard.

Look, if that's the case,
then Howard's alibi for Lucas

means that Sarah was on her own
the night that Neil was killed.

Howard is scared stiff of Lucas.

He'll say anything
to keep him sweet.

- One of them's lying.
- Mm.

And if Sarah made Howard
give her an alibi, then...

..surely that's the act of a person
with summat to hide.

Yeah, but we know Lucas
made the staffs,

so all we have to do is find
the staff that killed Neil,

and we've got him.
Nothing else matters.

No. I need to speak with Sarah.

OK.

Mrs Runshaw, it wasn't Emma's body
that was dug up.

It was Lily Oxley.

SHORT GASP

S-So Howard's right.

Emma's still out there.

Mrs Runshaw...

..according to Lucas Oxley...

..Howard was with him
when Neil was killed.

Which isn't what you told us. So...

..do you wanna tell me
why you lied?

- SARAH SIGHS
- I mean...

we could take this
to the police station.

It seems to me you're not quite
as clever as Howard thought.

What do you mean by that?

So what if Howard wasn't
at home with me?

Doesn't mean I wasn't there.

What I mean is,
innocent people wouldn't lie.

I was waiting in all evening.
Just like I do every night.

Just in case Emma
finds her way home.

Mrs Runshaw,
I'm here to talk about Neil.

We're tied together,
mother and daughter,

in darkness and in light.

Emma knows that better than anyone.

Yeah, Emma definitely knows
about darkness.

You've not got kids, have you?

Sometimes, a mother...

has to do things that hurt
both themselves and their child.

It's just the cross
a parent has to bear.

You're not just a nurturer,
you're a teacher too.

And some lessons take
a little bit longer to sink in.

But I can assure you
that everything was done

with love and care
at the heart of it.

PHONE BUZZES

BUZZING CONTINUES

I found the staff
on Lucas Oxley's property.

Looks like he was planning
to burn it all.

Hopefully, forensics will prove
it was used to kill Neil.

This is the Bible
he used to send the threats?

It's gotta be.

Do you think we can get him
on Lily's murder as well?

He definitely has motive.

Forensics are checking
out her bracelet for prints.

Be a great result, if we could.

You don't look convinced, Diane?

Lucas Oxley has an alibi
for Neil's murder.

It just feels too easy.

Guys, evidence management
just called.

It's about the burner
they found in Mam Tor.

Let's save ourselves the hassle
and just call this person back.

No, cos that's tampering
with evidence, Sarge.

So what are we gonna do?
Just stand around staring at it?

What good is that gonna do?

PHONE BUZZES

Caller ID is Neil.

PHONE BUZZES

I'll get Tracy
to get a cell site location.

Come on, even if she does,

who's to say the caller's
gonna stay around?

Why did you have to say that, Sarge?

Give it here.

I'm not taking the rap for this.

Come on.

Neil? Hold on.
I thought this wasn't Neil's phone.

The Blue Kettle.
That's a cafe, not far.

- I know where it is. Come on.
- I'll come with you.

Relax. You look like a cop
on an OBS.

Maybe they saw us.

CROCKERY CLATTERS,
LOW CHATTER

No way...

That's Emma Runshaw.

Emma...

I-I'm afraid Neil's not coming.

I don't understand.

Where is he? Who are you?

I'm Detective Constable Cooper.

This is Detective Constable Fry.

Erm, look, maybe we should sit down
and have a chat.

Why? What is this?

I think it's best
you take a seat, Emma.

Where's Neil?

- I'm afraid...
- FRY SIGHS

I'm afraid Neil was killed
a few days ago.

What?!

Emma, I understand
that this is shocking...

..but we need to ask you
a few questions.

Do you want a drink?
A tea or water before we start?

What happened to him?

Well, that's why we're here.
We're trying to find that out.

We appreciate that this is hard...

..but we need your help, Emma.

Do you think you can do that?

We'll start with Neil.

We're aware that he helped
you get away from your parents.

He saved my life.

Not sure how long
I would have lasted in that house.

I saw the "brave girl" stickers,
so I understand.

It's my mum
who's the terrifying one.

I bet she told you that
she almost died giving birth to me.

She mentioned it.

Told me the same thing
every day of my life.

Like it was my fault.

"You nearly killed me."

Over and over, she'd say it.

But sometimes, words weren't enough.

She nearly knocked me
into next week, some days.

The next thing I know,
I'm lying there with a broken arm

or a fractured jaw.

I'm so sorry
this happened to you, Emma.

Why didn't your dad step in?

The amount of times I begged him to.

Scream myself hoarse,
and he just... stood there.

He did nothing except buy me
a stupid doll afterwards.

Did anybody know?

Did the services step in?

It started when I was, like,
two years old.

And if you grow up
not trusting your own parents,

then what's gonna make you think
you can trust any other adult?

But you did trust Neil.

I hadn't saved any money.

I didn't know where to go.

And then he came up with this plan,
and it worked.

Up until two weeks ago.

I was living in Birmingham.

I was shutting up shop -
I work in a cafe.

And as I was turning the "closed"
sign around, I... I saw them.

My parents.

They tried the door.

Thank God they didn't see me -
I was in shadow.

But a few seconds earlier,
and they'd have walked in.

It was completely by chance,
but it was too close for comfort.

So Neil came up with another plan?

He told me to ditch everything.
My phone, my flat.

He told me to hide out until
he could get some cash together.

But not by selling his house?

It would have took months
for the cash to come through.

Of course not.
And that wasn't happening any more.

He changed his mind.

He'd sold up, Emma.

The last time I saw him,

he told me he was gonna talk
to someone down at the water company

to call off the sale.

What? Wait...

Did Neil tell you why
he wasn't selling up any more?

Him and the vicar had come
to some sort of agreement.

It got to the point
that Derek was doing Neil's nut in,

was driving him away.

But they figured it out, and Neil
didn't need to move away any more.

So how was he gonna get money
for you?

Well... by selling the stuff
he'd, you know, stolen.

As soon as he agreed a deal
with Lucas Oxley,

he was gonna call me
on the new phone he gave me.

Told me to get ready to leave.

Do you know who Neil was meeting
up at the quarry?

I didn't know he was meeting anyone.
I really didn't.

OK. OK. And last question,
I promise.

How come you and Neil
had swapped phones?

It was an accident.

He was in a hurry,
and he picked up mine by mistake.

We're gonna need
to see that phone, Emma.

- EMMA EXHALES
- What happens now?

You can't bring me into this.

You're part
of a murder inquiry, Emma.

You can't let my parents know
you found me.

Not if Neil's not here to help me.

Please don't tell them.

Right, as soon
as we get this phone open,

the sooner we can find out
who Neil was meeting up with.

School pick-up time.
We're gonna be stuck in traffic now.

Come on,
you must know some shortcuts.

Ben...

- What?
- We're in Hope Valley.

And?

When we met Hebden at the quarry,

he said he was
taking a shortcut FROM work.

Firth Water's offices,
they're in Hope Valley.

Remember the map?

Come on.

Driving through the quarry takes him
in the opposite direction.

What are you talking about?

Just drive, and I'll explain. Drive!

Mr Hebden, we need a word.
BANGING AT DOOR

Michael, we need a word.

Michael.

Check the window.

Michael.

Michael.

No. I'll go around back.

He's running!

- Mr Hebden.
- Michael!

Mr Hebden. Stop!

FENCE RATTLES

You're under arrest.
Turn round. Turn round.

You're coming with me.

We were in Hope Valley earlier.

Tell us about the shortcut
through the quarry

you take from work, please.

Er... yeah.

It saved me a few times.
Why do you ask?

It, er, turns out
it in't actually a shortcut.

It takes you
in the opposite direction, you see.

Why lie to us, Mr Hebden?

You see, we have Neil's phone.

And I think we'll find messages
on there between you and him

arranging to meet up at the quarry
on the night he was murdered.

I didn't meet with Neil, I swear.

When did you find out
he'd decided to stay at Withens?

He wasn't. He was selling up.

We think he rang you,
and he wanted to meet up.

And he was gonna tell you
he'd changed his mind.

And you saw your plans
falling to pieces.

Cos if Neil didn't sell,
then no-one else would follow suit.

And Firth Water would start
having to look at other sites,

and you'd be stuck in Withens
forever.

So you agreed to meeting him.

- I certainly did not.
- Come on, Michael.

- It'll all be on the phone.
- Look, stop this, please.

I know you don't have it.
You're bluffing. I can tell.

You thought you threw Neil's phone
away when you killed him, right?

But that was actually
Emma Runshaw's phone,

cos Neil took hers by mistake.

So she had his.

And, er... well, now we have it.

This is ridiculous.

Emma Runshaw disappeared years ago.

Well, we had a conversation
with her this afternoon, Michael.

We can keep this up all day
if you want.

Shall we jog your memory? OK.
So, Neil tells you he isn't selling.

You've got Border Rats
hounding you day and night.

Lucas Oxley is one of those Rats,

and he's a man who can do a lot more
than just threaten you.

So you panic,
and you realise you need to get Neil

to change his mind,
no matter what it takes.

Yeah, and you've got these thoughts
going around your mind.

And then you see Reverend Alton,

and you know
where he keeps his staff.

And you take it, Michael.

Then you arrange to meet Neil
at the quarry,

and when you see him...

What went wrong?

Neil was sorry. He really was.

But he felt bad selling up.

It was his family home.

It was where all his memories
of his parents were.

He just couldn't do it.

And then?

Michael.

He was such a nice person.

Unusually kind.

I suppose I thought he'd come round
to my way of thinking.

But he didn't.

And suddenly, I was...

I was swinging that staff...

..as hard as I could.

Why did you take the staff away
with you?

Was it to try and frame Lucas Oxley?

I knew there'd be
an investigation, and...

I knew his name would come up,

so I dumped it
in that stupid bonfire of his.

And God knows
I gave you enough hints

to go and look for the bloody thing.

Why did you drive up to the quarry
the next morning?

I thought I might have left
some evidence.

I was going to look around.

I had already panicked
and thrown away the phone.

But do you know what?

Whatever I did,
this is on them as well.

The village...

..the Border Rats.

They drove me crazy. I just couldn't
think straight any more.

The Rats aren't coming, Lucas.

Move on. This is private property.

You murdered Lily and buried her
in the church grounds.

And if it weren't for Neil
accidentally digging her up...

..you would have got away with it.

Lucas Oxley, I am arresting you
on suspicion of the murder

of Lily Oxley.

You do not have to say anything,

but it may harm your defence if you
do not mention when questioned

something which you later rely on
in court.

Anything you do say
may be given in evidence.

You don't know what you've done.
You don't know what you've done.

Your prints were on Lily's bracelet,
Lucas. It's over.

BELL RINGS

Look, erm...

I dropped by cos I wanted
to tell you the news in person.

You found Emma?

It's more that we're closing
the file on Emma.

Wh...? You can't do that.

We need her back.
She-She belongs with us.

Yeah, she won't be coming back.

Why would you say that?

I found evidence that Emma ran away.

She had the help
in the shape of Neil.

She's alive?

So he took her?!

What Neil did, Mr Runshaw,
was an act of kindness.

He was a good person.

He just wanted
to try and help people.

What the hell
are you talking about?

If she chooses to live a life away
from you, then that is up to her.

That's our baby girl.

What she is, Mr Runshaw,
is an adult.

And if she wants to be free
from both of you,

then you have to learn
to respect that.

BOTTLES CLINK

- Well deserved.
- Here we go.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Oh. That's good.

How were the Runshaws?

- Mental.
- HE SCOFFS

And, yeah, angry.

But I officially
closed the case on Emma.

Just in time to open a new one
against your ex, yeah?

Listen, I know
you don't wanna hear it,

but it's the best thing to do,
get him on stalking.

Let me just
do it my way first, yeah?

I wanna... I wanna wait him out.

HE EXHALES HEAVILY

Derek Alton took five years
to come to his senses.

Look, I thought we were
supposed to be celebrating?

You got Lucas Oxley.

You'd have made your dad proud.

Yeah. Did summat right.

You've done loads of things right.

HE CHUCKLES

Ben... if you wanna, erm,

I don't know, bounce around
new ideas about your dad's case.

No. No. No point.
It's a dead end.

Are you sure?

Yeah. Yeah. Erm...

I'm, erm... Just go.

Yeah.

I can tell that you've had
some upheaval in your life,

something recent, and you may
have to overcome some hurdle,

but after that,
things will definitely change.

Now, most people get spooked when
they see this card, but don't worry.

It can mean the death
of something negative

or the end
of a long and arduous road.

But whatever it is...

I think you have much to anticipate,
even to look forward to.

I'll take that.

Are you new to Edendale
or just passing through?

Oh, we're passing through.

But you know what?

I think I might hang around
for a bit.

No warrant.

No rights.

There's not much I haven't seen.

- Even murder?
- Death is death.

Two women were attacked
in the same area

- within a few weeks of each other.
- GRUNTING

What's the connection?

It's time you come home,
don't you think?

Get out of here now!

Should've listened to her.

Should've listened, but I didn't.

And it's too late.

In the case of the murder
of Joe Cooper...

do you admit
to perverting the course of justice?
